When asked, they will advise you that the initial discounts or coupons, or whatever else they call them have expired. That's simply the way it works. Standard for the Cable TV / Internet service industry.

Depending on the level of competition in the area, you might be able to get those discounts renewed simply by asking. "Up north" I used to keep a date on my calendar to call the service provider once a year before the annual expiration date and ask for a renewal.

I asked and they told me I can reduce my bill by dropping down to a lower priced package??? I checked with Spectrum and their special pricing was almost identical, they know what each other is doing and what they charge per item.
